Publisher's Summary
To learn how to make index investing work for you, there's no better mentor than legendary mutual-fund industry veteran John C. Bogle. Over the course of his long career, Bogle, founder of the Vanguard Group and creator of the world's first index mutual-fund, has relied primarily on index investing to help Vanguard's clients build substantial wealth. Now, with The Little Book of Common Sense Investing, he wants to help you do the same.
Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing will show you how to incorporate this proven investment strategy into your portfolio. It will also change the very way you think about investing. Successful investing is not easy. (It requires discipline and patience.) But it is simple - for it's all about common sense.

"Repeats endlessly"
While this book offers sound advice on index investing. It is endlessly repetitive. The crux of the material could be covered in 15-30 minutes.

"Invest in Index Fund.If you get that, don't waste$"
Invest in index funds is the only message from the book. The authors mentions this over and over again in this book and quotes many successful investors backing that. If someone is not sold on index fund then I would recommend this book. Otherwise save the cost of buying this book and instead add it to your index fund.

"If you can't beat them, join them!"
I've been investing for years, and my personal experiences is a testament to what this book details. For the long term investor, nothing beats the indexes!

"Repetitive but Very Good"
Some of the other reviewers are right; the book could be summarized in 30 minutes. That said, I've listened to it three times and during these crazy economic times it is sort of reassuring. Yes, you can beat the market but, no, it isn't likely that you will. This book helps you understand why and it might also make you less hungry for outsized returns. A good listen.

"Get something by Jim Cramer instead"
Let me make this short and sweet for you. Buy index funds, Bogle is an investing genius. Those two statements sum up the entire book. When Bogle isn't telling you how great index funds are he is reading rave reviews about himself. Despite what a lot of successful investors say (Cramer, Buffet, Heebner) Bogle says the only thing you can do is batch the market and beating it is laughable. As far as investing books go pass on this one, there are much better around.
